Nostalgia alert.

Even the most cutting edge of music fans will want to dip their toe in their own musical past just to get that hit of sentimentality. Spotify knows this too, and have created a "Time Capsule" application, that really accurately guesses what you were listening to ten, fifteen and twenty years ago. https://twitter.com/ASeigneurin/status/913041566331269120 https://twitter.com/Spotify/status/913387932383416320 We tested it out on three people here in the JOE offices, and the results were universally very, very accurate. Sure, there were one or two songs on there that weren't exactly spot-on, but the hit rate out of 50 songs is super high. Click on the Time Capsule link here to see if Spotify can accurately guess what you were listening to the late 90's and early 00's. People seem satisfied with the feature. https://twitter.com/iSmashFizzle/status/913907952402223104 https://twitter.com/iamBrendanDane/status/913633771743739904 https://twitter.com/OliviaCaridi/status/914108681897299968 https://twitter.com/danielFARAHday/status/913563953581756416
